Quantum Lichen

The Quantum Lichen species is a powerful, attention-deprived race whose most famous actor is Langdon Cobb, widely regarded as the greatest actor in the known universe. Quantum Lichens expose their faces to living being to harvest their souls, which go into a living creature known as their “ego.” The ego grows or shrinks based on how much attention the Quantum Lichen receives, or how many souls it absorbs. Too many souls or satisfaction with the amount of attention they are receiving will force the ego to explode.
